WTMJ’s Steve Scaffidi kicks off Thanksgiving week with law, travel, and a little gratitude.
He’s joined by WISN-TV political director Matt Smith, who shares highlights from his interview with Interim U.S. Attorney Brad Schimel on the trial of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan — including talk of a potential plea deal and what comes next for the high-profile case. They also discuss the uncertain future of WisconsinEye, the state’s C-SPAN-style network, after losing key funding, and hear from CEO John Henkes about whether state support could save it.
Next, Matt shares insights from Marquette Law School Poll director Charles Franklin on voter views of the economy, grocery prices, and inflation.
Then, Steve turns to the skies: U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants Americans to travel better in his new PSA, “The Golden Age of Travel Starts with You.” Steve asks listeners if the call for courteous flying — dressing properly, helping others, and keeping kids calm — is long overdue.
In the 11 a.m. hour, Annex Wealth Management’s Dave Spano joins for the Monday Market Preview, breaking down holiday retail sales, the Beige Book, interest rates, and year-end investing tips. Steve also shares what he’s thankful for this season, recaps his deer-camp weekend, and relives the Packers’ big win over the Vikings before closing with ideas on how to “pay it forward” every day.

New headphones, fresh perspective — WTMJ’s Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey open the day asking one big question: is the country actually beginning to heal?
After months of division and political tension, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is making headlines with what some are calling an “apology tour,” expressing regret for her past rhetoric after seeing the same behavior from President Donald Trump. Steve and Kristin ask whether this signals a national softening — especially following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
Later, they’re joined by Professor Susan Yackee, director of the La Follette School of Public Affairs at UW–Madison, to talk about teaching civil dialogue and encouraging students (and citizens) to engage across political lines. Her challenge to listeners: to have curiosity.
In the second hour, Steve and Kristin switch gears to Wisconsin politics — the crowded Democratic primary for governor and the debate over legalizing online sports betting. Plus, Kristin’s story about her friend’s inspiring nonprofit MS Run the US and a few laughs as Steve leaves her to close out the show solo.
